The University of Maine at Augusta was recently awarded $5,000 to provide free dental hygiene services (cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatment) and basic restorative care (simple fillings) to veterans.
The UMA Dental Health Programs at both the Lewiston and Bangor dental clinics has been a member of the Maine Veterans’ Dental Network for three years. Northeast Delta Dental has provided $300,000 to the MVDN for its 2024 program, and UMA was one of 13 clinics chosen to participate in this fabulous network of providers.
A veteran must qualify and be pre-approved to receive the free services. Before being seen at the clinic, they can call MVDN at 207-287-6836 or email mvdn.mainebvs@maine.gov for approval.
The UMA Dental Clinic has openings for qualifying veterans this spring and fall. For appointments, call 207-262-7872.
